TCP Fast Open
In computer networking, TCP Fast Open is an extension to speed up the opening of successive TCP connections between two endpoints. It works by skipping the three-way handshake, and re-authenticating to the server with a cryptographic "cookie", stored on the client side.
TCP Fast Open is similar to an earlier proposal called T/TCP (RFC 1644), which was not widely adopted due to security issues.[1] As of July 2012[update], it is an IETF Internet draft.[2]
